Locations to mount radar detector

[ayasin]

I'm thinking about purchasing a Valentine V1 radar detector but I don't want wires and junk running everywhere (and covering the beautiful DIS display). Anyone mount a radar detector? If so how did you wire it? Is there an easy way to hide the wires?

I think you should research more because I heard the Escort Passport 9500 was better than the Valentine V1.

This is debatable, but I think you will find after some research that the V1 is considered the gold standard in the industry.

I mounted my Escort 9500ix next to the rear-view mirror. There are a couple of good threads detailing the wiring, installation, and location choice. My detector has a GPS as well and it picks up the satelittes just fine where I have it mounted.

Couple of good threads on this already.
